13th Hour Magazine is not just about haunted houses and
the products that go into them. Some of the articles in
13th Hour Magazine are geared purely at entertaining the
reader. The Face To Face Celebrity Interview is one of these
sections. Who doesn’t like reading an interview with
a celebrity the likes of the legendary Dee Snider? And who
knows, there may be something in the interview that gives
you an idea on how to improve your haunt or for a new product.
It seems that each year, the industry is introduced to more
and more new products. Companies are utilizing new technology
that has taken haunted house props to an amazing new level.
An industry that was once dominated by horribly unrealistic
masks has now reached a level where a person wearing a mask
could hold a conversation with some one that would never
even know the person they are talking to is wearing a mask.
As technology continues to progress, products become more
imaginative and realistic. 13th Hour Magazine recognizes
these new products in the Latest And Greatest Products section.
Be sure to check out this section in each issue to see the
hottest new products on the market.
Products are not the only things new in the haunt industry.
New companies that supply to haunted attractions are emerging
as well. 13th Hour Magazine pays tribute to these entrepreneurs
in the section New Ventures.
While featuring people who are new to the haunt society,
13th Hour Magazine also understands that the industry has
a rich and interesting history. In our regular section,
Crypt Keeper, we feature a prominent person within the haunt
industry. We introduce you to the person behind the haunter,
show you the ups and downs of their career, successes and
failures, and of course, we remind you what makes this person
important to the industry. These are the people that have
paved the way for the new haunters and continue to carve
the path of the industry.
13th Hour Magazine wants to know what you think! Sure, we
have tons of story ideas, but what we want to deliver is
the information haunt owners and vendors want to see. Feel
free to submit your ideas for stories to our editorial team.
Have a subject you want to spout off on? Submit a story
and photos for our Ghost Writer story. What is the new product
that you can’t wait for haunt owners to see? Submit
it for inclusion in the Latest/Greatest section of 13th
Hour Magazine. Are you opening a new attraction, did your
company win an award, or do you have some exciting news
you want to share with the rest of the haunt community?
Pass the news on to us and maybe it will be featured in
our Haunted Hearsay section. We encourage our readers to
be a part of 13th Hour Magazine in any way possible.
A main facet of 13th Hour Magazine’s website is the
Haunt Hunter™. Haunt Hunter™ is the world’s
most extensive and comprehensive haunted attraction search.
But we need your help to ensure that we have the most up
to date information possible. If you own a haunt, go to
the submission page and sign your haunt up for Haunt Hunter™.
13th Hour Magazine wants Haunt Hunter™ to be the best
Haunted Attraction search engine in the world
Once the information for Haunt Hunter™ is compiled,
users will be able to search Haunted Attractions using a
multitude of criteria. It doesn’t matter what the user
is looking for, Haunt Hunter™ will allow them to find
it. Looking for the scariest haunted house in America, or
the most confusing corn maze? How bout a scream park that
has a haunted house, a hayride and a dark ride or two? Need
something that is rather tame for that little one that doesn’t
like to be scared? Or maybe you’re looking for someplace
to go while on vacation. Haunt Hunter™ will allow you
to find any of this. Search by type of attraction, from
scary to child-friendly, from dark ride to corn maze, Haunt
Hunter™ can show you all of these. The search by selected
area will allow users to search for a haunted attraction
that is within so many miles of their zip code or city as
well as the typical search by state feature.
As 13th Hour Magazine continues to evolve with the industry,
one thing will remain constant – a commitment to being
the leading publication in the haunt industry. We will continue
to deliver world-class design with informative and entertaining
stories that provide haunted attraction owners and vendors
with the information they need to continue to grow and improve
the industry. |
